  • Malcolm travels in his boat to the most remote parts of the Kimberley, camps for weeks at a time on pristine beaches, chases mighty barramundi and trolls for giant trevally. Exploring remote inlets and Kimberley rainforest he records the first film of the rare rough-scale python. Filmed over twelve months, this is a great Malcolm Douglas adventure.

    One thing that I absolutely adore about Malcolm’s fishing videos is that he almost never mentions the exact size of the fish. It’s never; “wow, 100cm+!!”. It’s “look at the size of that fish!” Or “what a beautiful fish”. It’s not about a competition, it’s not about sport. He’s simply experiencing the Outback in all her majestic wonder.
